Super Name: The Clockwork Punk (rarely used)
Secret Identity: MG (short for Machine Guy or Mechanical Guy)
Age: 26 years
Gender: Male
Race: Android
Description: 6'1", 490 lbs (due to metal components), slightly tanned complexion, slim/athletic build. Has short, dark red hair and red eyes, though these features change rather often. His wardrobe also varies regularly, though lately he's been seen in a black and red motif--generally he wears street clothes, forgoing the outlandish outfits of other superbeings.
Despite being a machine, MG's features are completely indistinguishable from those of a normal man; not only does he look human, but he can do anything a human can do, including blush, sweat, bleed (he doesn't normally, but he can if he wants to for deceptive purposes), eat and digest food, cry, and make love. His "organic" components are made of a polymer with a silicon base, sort of like silly putty but much more durable than human flesh and quite realistic.
Weaponry: Crafted of depleted Promethium-B, the same otherworldy metal that comprises most of MG's inner structure, these super-dense yet remarkably light weapons possess durability surpassing that of carbon steel and have edges honed to only a few microns across to give them superior cutting power
•Blades, which can manifest as everything from throwing knives to claws to katanas to a huge chainsaw sword
•Built-in artillery, most commonly a machine gun which extends from the side of MG's forearm. He has also been seen to transform his entire arm into a chaingun on occasion. The bullets he uses are usually whatever regular old ammunition he can find laying around; caliber makes no difference, as he can adjust his weaponry to suit his needs
•Impact cable, high-tensile and thin enough to cut like a razor when under tension
•Dirty Jane, a corroded katana plated with radioactive Promethium-B
Powers:
•Inhuman strength, endurance, and agility due to his mechanical nature
•Enhanced sight (including night vision), hearing, and sense of smell
•Rapid reconstruction of the machinery comprising his own body, granting him form-only shapeshifting and the ability to heal quickly.
•Immunity to electricity, poison, disease, and mental attacks
•Resistance to magnetism and extreme temperatures
•Delta-particle radiation, generated by MG's core, this invisible energy is poisonous to organic beings.
Bio: Constructed and brought to life roughly thirty years in the future, MG was the third clockwork-driven combat android constructed by Benjamin Knightley. The culmination of Knightley's research into artificial intelligence, MG--unlike his predecessor, the Clockwork Samurai--possessed the capability for autonomous thought and action.
Gifted with the combat mastery of a seasoned fighter, a mechanical brain far surpassing that of most humans, and a small helping of Knightley's own mechanical genius, MG was easily able to surpass and defeat his own prototype in battle.
However, there was a small problem: MG was lazy, unmotivated, and completely uninterested in helping anyone but himself. Because of this, Knightly believed the machine was not yet ready to fulfill the role he had been created for and thus sent him back in time in the hopes that, under the guidance of Knightley's younger self, MG would be able to attain the determination, compassion, and sense of justice he would need thirty years hence.
Despite being extremely reckless, violent, and generally mentally unsound, MG plays the part of a hero as best he can.
After being dismantled by a villain known as The Everything Man, MG returned from an undisclosed point in the future to help his otherdimensional self defeat his foe, regather his parts, and reconstruct his past self (an event which has yet to actually happen on this timeline).
Residence: MG has a rusted-out storage unit in Aekea which serves as his "headquarters" and houses his myriad of mechanical equipment (and his deadly squad of robot bikini girls).
Toys: Just some stuff that MG's picked up ...
•Time Vortex Actuator: tech copied from Knightley's workshop that enables time travel, though MG has only gotten it to work twice.
•Clockwork Lightsabre: a gift from Knightley for proving himself a real hero, MG has kept this weapon in reserve because "It's so f'kin powerful it takes all the fun out of fights".
•Sword-O-Matic: a device installed in MG's body, created by Yin's rabbid scientists in return for a favor, that allows MG to generate more blades than his body normally has parts for.
•EMP Device: pilfered from one of Lethe Corp's faceless grunts, this piece of tech was reverse-engineered and incorporated into MG's left arm.
